IntroductionCoronary artery bypass grafting is a safe procedure performed worldwide with low
rates of mortality and morbidity in general population.ObjectiveTo investigate risk factors for mortality of patients undergoing coronary artery
bypass grafting coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.MethodsA total of 1,628 consecutive patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass
grafting were retrospectively studied from December 1999 to February 2012. Data
analysis involved paired Student t test, Mann-Whitney test and Fisher’s exact test
for the categorical data. Logistic regression, Odds Ratio and 95%CI were used for
definition of risk factors for mortality.ResultsOf a total of 1,628 patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting,
141 (8.7%) died. The following risk factors for mortality were identified after
logistic regression: dialysis (OR=7.61; 95%CI 3.58-16.20), neurologic dysfunction
type I (OR=4.42; 95%CI 2.48-7.81), use of IABP (OR=3.38; 95%CI 1.98-5.79),
cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR=3.09; 95%CI 2.04-4.68), serum creatinine on
admission and peak values > 0.4mg/dL (OR=2.67; 95%CI 1.79-4.00), age > 65
years (OR=2.31; 95%CI 1.55-3.44), and time between hospital admission and and
surgical procedure (OR=1.53; 95%CI 1.03-2.27).ConclusionDialysis, type I neurologic dysfunction, use of IABP, cardiopulmonary bypass time
(> 115 minutes), serum creatinine on admission and peak values>0.4mg/dL, age
> 65 years and time between hospital admission and surgical procedure were
considered as risk factors for mortality in patients undergoing on-pump coronary
artery bypass grafting surgery.
